About Fast foods, chimichanga, with beef

A chimichanga is, essentially, a deep-fried burrito: a flour tortilla wrapped around a beef filling and then fried until the outside is golden and crisp. That frying step is what separates it from a regular burrito — and what drives up its calories and fat.

At about 244 calories per 100 grams it's noticeably richer than a steamed or baked tortilla dish, with around 11 grams of fat (a good portion of it absorbed during frying) and roughly 25 grams of carbohydrate from the large flour tortilla. Protein is solid at about 11 grams from the beef, and cholesterol is fairly low at around 5 milligrams. Sodium is high, near 523 milligrams per 100 grams, and a single restaurant chimichanga can weigh 200 to 300 grams.

The deep-frying is the thing to be mindful of here — a soft burrito with the same filling carries the crunch's worth of extra fat and calories without it. Choosing a non-fried burrito, going easy on sour cream and cheese toppings, and adding a side of vegetables or salad are simple ways to enjoy the flavors with less of the calorie load.
